I can’t thank say thank you enough to Fiona from RHET and Mrs Kirkwood, for bringing their three beautiful piglets to visit my P4 class.
The children have been enjoying reading the class novel, Charlotte’s Web, and were beyond excited when they heard they would have the chance to meet some ‘real life’ Wilburs!”
I think it’s opportunities like these that really bring literacy to life for the children. They have been enjoying reading about Wilbur’s life on the farm, and writing character descriptions about him, however, after meeting with the piglets today, they produced some terrific writing describing how “his snout felt as smooth as pebble” , and that piglets make ‘perfect playground pals’.
Many thanks again!
